Ooh, that villainess one. The fan TL is done, tho think I'll buy the LN anyways. It's super gay. (in a good way?)
The latter one I only read some of the manga for and it's ok I guess.

New Cross Infinite World license from Futabasha:
The Good Witch of the Lake’s four-year crush ended in heartbreak with a single request from the object of her affections! Wanting to increase what little time she has with Royal Knight Harij, Rose sends him on a wild-goose chase for the ingredients but gets more than she bargained for when the grumbling knight starts visiting her every day…to feed her?
This is the heartwarming story of a shut-in witch and an arrogant, straitlaced knight whose romance starts from a love potion.

This English tweet on it kinda went slightly viral back in January. Wonder if the localization wheels were already turning before then or no.

Seven Seas' announcements have been kind of underwhelming so far. Nothing really interesting except for the otome game mob, especially since it's by the author of Sevens, hopefully it will lead to that one being license as well.
-
No, please don't let them have Sevens! I want to do Sevens!
-
@Roy-Nukia Well, maybe you could also try translating for them and push for the license. Apparently the translator for Otome Mob pushed for it at Seven Seas and are working on it now.
-
@Roy-Nukia Then I hope we can buy it from you one day.

Nice, I had that on my read list.
-
At last! This has been on my wish list for a while. Even proposed this title to JNC. Just glad to get it licensed. Hopefully the manga won't be too far behind.
Aaaaaand just read the post on Facebook. Manga too! Yay!
-
What a pity that this novel didn't get licensed by J-Novel Club... I will probably pick this up though.

So uh, apparently there's this weird new LN publisher based in Madrid, Spain who's going to be publishing books in Spanish and English at the same time. They have two licenses right now:
- There’s no way a side character like me could be popular, right? (友人キャラの俺がモテまくるわけないだろ？), 1st volume releases May 29th
- Welcome to the Diner of the Exiled! (追放者食堂へようこそ!), release TBA
Digital will release in Amazon, Kobo, Google Play Books, B&N in both languages. Physical releases will apparently be only in English for now, and with some extras like short stories, according to this.
Frankly, I don't know what to make of this. The Spanish blurbs (first license, second license) look like they're bad literal translations of the same pages in English, but the English looks good. I just asked on their Discord and it seems they still need to edit the text, and they're considering making separate translations for Spain and Latam. I hope for their sake that by the end of the month the Spanish release is good, historically LNs don't do too well here.
(I don't know if I should have made a new thread for this. @Rahul-Balaggan ?)

Not necessarily, it is perfectly fine here, as other users have also posted about other publishers licensing in this topic.
If anyone wanted to make a new topic for this new publisher that would also be fine.
It’s a grey area where it can work here and in a separate topic all at once.
